Supercharged Vortech 350Z First Run Ever (STREET TIRES = FAIL)

[3point7v6Stang]

Damn.. that's crazy... I must say, way to handle all that power! I think you did an awesome job controlling it and keeping it pointed down the track for how much wheel spin you had. sweet car

[xXxAtkinsxXx]

dam man that sucks with the wheel hop, hope you got some new rubber now! Anymore vids?

[TheCoDTutorials]

Nice save is all i got to say lol

[Enj01]

tires spinning feels good but in you knew how to drive u woulda won this race....

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@Enj01 read the title... FIRST RUN.. means he is trying it out, getting used to it etc.. and the tyres need uprating.

[luminaeus]

@Enj01

ORLY?

Did you learn that by playing NeedForSpeed?

Fucking christ retards like you don't even own a car and think you know more about driving than the people who spend tens of thousands of dollars building cars for racing.

[Enj01]

@luminaeus Well im not gonna wast my time proving to u i know what im talking bout but w/e point is he did not drive the car good so y post a video... y not just post a video with a good 60ft, trap and time

[luminaeus]

@Enj01

What part of street tires don't you understand?

Maybe the point of the video is to show how the new power completely overwhelms the stock tires?

[Enj01]

@luminaeus By the way i am a pro I Am sponsored by EA and Codemasters get ya shit straight son!

[KaoKase]

I think you should start in 4th gear :)

[manofthehour114]

What was the time?

[shiznapps]

@dk1229 What are you fucking stupid?

[dk1229]

why put it in neutral when the car was still running?

[IsotomicMisnomer]

@dk1229 run was over he was slowing down.its faster to slow down in neutral besides brake pads are cheaper then putting wear on your engine,trans and clutch by downshifting

[Bagdaddy723]

that thing's a beast

[Bagdaddy723]

that thing is a beast

[EatMyDust999]

YOU JERK OFF THAT CAR LIKE A MAN! CAUSE IT IS A BEAST!!!!

[emperoroflaos]

I wish all of you "pros" would show your drag racing videos. A supercharged Z is not your mommy's Camry, when you girls show a video of you racing than it will mean something.

[USAFmedtech]

lol i crindged manual is the way to go

[comgeturs]

I choose 480p for no reason

[ninjured]

why do people always shake the shifter left to right when in neutral at the end ??

[Dallasmavs92]

@ninjured I do it to make sure i'm in neutral just out of habit. You woudnt want to accidently leave it in gear then take your foot off the clutch and fuck shit up...

[ken0is0gay0fan0club]

@ninjured I drive a z and i do it too; I guess its an idiosyncratic thing. We are scared that its in gear so we shake it to check!

[basis2k6]

@ken0is0gay0fan0club I do the same thing in my mustang. I think anyone that drives stick has done this at some point in their life, even if not intentionally am I right? lol

[SleepingWithKellin]

@ninjured To make sure it's in Neutral, not some other gear.

[Procryonis]

@ninjured

do you even drive a car? it´s just a habit

[ninjured]

@Procryonis yeh evo x. ive never had a problem finding neutral thats all. im not sure how you can even get that confused with being in another gear. i guess the actual answer is "there is no reason to do this". i was just curious. no need to be a douche.

[Procryonis]

@ninjured

you´re right

[3point7v6Stang]

@ninjured I do it once towards me when I'm stopped at a light or something. I do it out of habit now but I used to do it when I first learned how to drive stick to make sure I was def out of gear so I wouldn't stall into traffic.. haha but I've never done it as much as in this video.. It looks like more of a nervous/anxious shake down. If I was in a car with someone who did that every time they stopped it'd drive me crazy... but you're right, there is no reason.. unless you're learning i'd say

[docthunder1]

Try to launch it softer. with the turbo you'll just keep breaking traction when it spools up

[darogers125]

@docthunder1 its supercharged there's no turbo lag

[TheVTBROSEPH]

@darogers125 It's actually procharged

[MaddZzee350]

If you could of kept the rubber on the concrete, and shifted a little smoother, you would of been neck and neck bro. You'll get better.

[INismo90]

@dusto1002

[INismo90]

Dusto fuck off you prick

[gordysuggs]

man that thing is fast...how much hp you putting out...

[coverdale20]

This video may explain why used 350Zs are so cheap these days.... The car is just getting abused and it could definitely run better with more finesse....

[jamess1282]

Get an auto..

[INismo90]

All des fggts talking shit got stock zs with i/h/e sp yall fk n he isnt granny shifting

[dusto1002]

@INismo90 please learn english, or stick to your 1st language whatever it is.

[hendrichb]

You drive like a woman, don't put it in neutral when you slow down, down shift!

[Mr77mmaannii]

@hendrichb whats wrong with putting it in neutral ?

[notogen]

ur a fucking idiot...

[DimwittedDinobot]

lol shift fail you are a disgrace to z owners.

[WyattHD]

SHIFT, SHIFT Goddammit, SHIFT man, SHIFT....just had to watch this one more time and dude you are like sitting on the shift points like an old lady - shift dammit man shift, ROFL!!!!

[BradgoFast]

@WyattHD If he shifted earlier he would have bogged down. real life is nnot need for speed. there are no "shift points" you shift when its good and ready

[WyattHD]

@BradgoFast Are you fucking retarded or something - "shift when good and ready"??? He's SITTING on redline for days dumb ass. Get the fuck out of here you idiot

[WyattHD]

@BradgoFast Watch this fucking video again and this time play it with SOUND...you hear that "DADDDDADDDDADDDDDDDD!!!!!" for days before EVERY shift....do you know what that even is dibshit? That's the rev limiter telling the jackwad being the wheel..."Hey fuckwad, shift or I'm going to throw a rod or bearing jerkoff!".

[BradgoFast]

@WyattHD it was hitting the rev limiter because he was spinning, if he would have shifted it would bog. what he should have done is let off a bit or let it bounce of the rev limiter.

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@BradgoFast you are correct.. although the wheels are spinning, the car is gaining speed (not much mind you) I think to feather the throttle more and find grip is the real answer.. but it was his FIRST run by the way.

[ChiTownBullzzz21]

@WyattHD ur an idiot, he was shifting, but his tires was spinning all the way to 3rd gear, its just to much power for those street tires to handle

[WyattHD]

@ChiTownBullzzz21 Ok sparky...you say I'm the idiot...ummm ok, sure. "he was shifting, blame it on the tires". Shifting????....I didn't see much of shifting during this run, I saw a ton of SQUATTING on the fucking rev limiter and then thinking: "Oh yeah, it's not a AT, I better shift, fuck I forgot".

[ChiTownBullzzz21]

@WyattHD u need to chill son its jus a vid, get that sand out of ur vagina

[politicaltruth42]

@WyattHD lol these guys are idiots...you are right. the guy was an idiot shifting

[WyattHD]

Jeeze that was FUGLY....I KNOW the Vortech doesn't put down insane amounts like 700WHP or anything even close (prob in the low 400WHP range), but you made that looks like complete sh&t man - that run was nasty barf ugly bro.

[ClubbySuperCharged]

Do you got yourself a Bee R rev limiter?

[hpbadboy]

think of it like this, dont shift like ur jacking off. you dont want ur car to cum.

[TheLouwryder]

also its a gear stick not ur cock quit shaking it

[TheLouwryder]

granny shifting and not double clutching and you almost had me ha ha ha ha ha ha 

[mannyboy669]

change shift faster.. wasted a lot of time there

[Diego020383]

its the blow off not the grinding gear.. hard to hear lol

[916samman]

you can shift for shit u dumb ass u don't deserve that car

[xTonyful]

@916samman

"you can shift for shit"?

Guessing your the dumb ass, dumb ass.

[LACounty8l8]

LOL YOU FAIL AT DRIVING STICK XD

GRINDING EVERY GEAR LOL!

[heatman74]

First time driving a stick? How many time are you going to shake the stick to realize " Yup its still in neutral right where I left it."

[INismo90]

He knows how to launch car fine all y'all fgts try driving +400whp and being able to control it especially stock z holders just cuz you own the car don't mean you can handle all that torque bruh I have a z na and I've drivin a 500whp twin turbo beast z and It's a whole different car for a daily that shit is good. So all you fgts suk it ez !

[jamesjdm]

you need to learn to launch that car...you had more wheel spin and near sideways action then you could handle. that car will run much faster once you get a feel for it. learn to feather the throttle a little more on launch or you are just going to light up the tires each time. street tires or not you. a SC 350Z puts down about 400whp, that is not beyond the ability of street tires to handle.

[CASSINOx]

is it good to go right to neutral after hard acceleration- high speeds?

explain

[LtDickWeed]

Car did great man! It was right behind that torque monster corvette the entire time. You should post more videos.

[cDrakeb]

Some of you guys are dumb. Okay we know he shouldn't have kept his hand on the shifter, but WTF! DId you not see he was in 3rd and still spinning tires? Obviously the tires played a factor...

[Chilantrx]

Very bad driving man

[zfokaiz]

it's not the tires, you just can't drive...

[TheShawndean22]

dude i have a 350z, you launched way too high, wheel spinning all the way to 4th gear man, woulda won with some better tires or better launch

[Zullaruis]

which model is this 1 the 2007?

[MurderOnDancefloor]

Sounds like your shits about to fall apart

[xXgofalldownXx]

You would have won the race if you short shifted 2nd n slow boosted 3rd. quick car

[TheMajorRagequit]

that poor Z...

[carloz551]

@bcbc...bro u noe u could've win the race easily...for da vortech...come on..man watch da video...n look at ur rpm...u gotta do better than dat...good luck..

[MrPaintballkidd123]

damn u were red lining the shit outa tht thing lol

[danielloveschristy]

i love how z's transmissions gears are so short that when people mod em they cant get traction. i really do love it. no sarcasm lol

[jarjarlol]

@danielloveschristy no kidding. My z is stock and first and second gear blow by before I realized anything happens.

[Unavalivle]

why did u put it in neutral at the end? ( i dont know if this is some street racing thing)

[myskman1]

Nice man get better tiers those street tiers a gay but cool car

[jdmfreak921]

wheelhop much?

[chicagosmooth618]

how the hell did he not wreck! never keep your hand on the shifter like that!

[TheGodzilaplatypus]

@chicagosmooth618 Dunno if he really had a choice, those gears seem to fly by pretty damn fast.

[ericmck2000]

@chicagosmooth618 Tell that to this guy. watch?v=9IOpuGVoyCk. Or better yet, find me a video of a car that runs 12s or less where the guy DOES take their hands off the shifter. Remember, It will NOT shift itself.

[thurmanjr7]

@ericmck2000

I agree. I have an 11 second camaro thats a five speed. You can't take your hand off the shifter, there's no time. All the people with 20 second hondas need to stop telling people with real cars how to drive. That guy did everything just fine. You don't put slicks on a street car, and while he may have left line a little too hard that has nothing to do with him slipping in third.

[ericmck2000]

@thurmanjr7 Agreed. Even with a car running 15s or 16s, unless, your running a powerglide, your hand will stay on the shifter. Besides, I would be willing to bet half of the trolls here have never went down the 1320

[Michaelangelom]

LOL i so figured he was gonna wreck too i was like " OH 30 G's ABOUT TO BE GONE!" xD nice ride tho i had one till i met a tree with it :b now i got a stupid Eclipse! haha

[TheMotivatedOne]

@chicagosmooth618 Whip game lol. so true though.

[TheLouwryder]

@chicagosmooth618 neewbies dont know the damage keeping ur hand on the gearstick does to ur gearbox

[HornieCow]

@chicagosmooth618 cos its not a shitty american car. Japanese build, build to stay on the road. ;)

[Mr77mmaannii]

@HornieCow looool I'll drink to that !!

[tkotomy]

@chicagosmooth618 explain this to me ?

[Redblood797]

what screen is that in your cubby?

[roach2661]

Needs better burnout.

[djmouser15Y]

.....no that orange light isn't a "blow off".... that's your rev limiter light and you're bouncing off of it.

[definite757]

did you grind every gear?! geez!

[bcbc1975]

@definite757 I think you are confusing the "blow off" from my bypass valve with a grinding gear sound.

[COWBOYMOTORIDER]

@bcbc1975 I herd no grinds. Sounded good, got pretty bad sideways in third, thats nuts. Very nice ride man.

[VDubGLI]

@definite757 The blow off along with spinning tires makes that sorta grinding sound but isnt grinding.

[Nihadkeso]

@definite757 its harder then you think driving stick in a drag. alot of ppl do grind gears.

[themechanic345]

Holy 3rd gear wobble batman!

[wrxFTWdey]

geez. nice car! bet you can some do some sick burnouts. haha, is METH really worth it? gallons are pricey. hella wheel spin! haha, your imput on super charger vs turbo charger?? thanks

[jamaicanlovrboy]

@wrxFTWdey ive had a vortech S/C maxima, and a TT sc300, in my oipinion, turbo is the better way to go, plus its cheaper. i say cheaper cuz you really cant/dont want to piece a S/C kit together, while you can do that with a turbo kit. turbo will produce more power if needs be with less effort like pulling the whole blower off just to put a smaller pulley for more boost (some S/C kits are this way)....in the end its what youre looking for, and how your money is looking.

[nicknsk8er]

great car but slicks you wouldnt have that problem :)

[funguy7979]

from the video, some rear suspension components would have fixed the issues with the traction at the launch and second gear. With that taken care of, it would have been a completely different race all together. SPC and other companies make plenty of rear suspension parts. I had Kinetix rear camber/toe kit and eibach sways with GTSpec undercarriage frame supports on my G35coupe and it handled like a dream. I used it for daily use and drift. I had a bunch of boltons on the motor but no FI.

[JDFischer1]

@ranmas2004 Well said

[ranmas2004]

Never fails to see how many people talk SHYT when you put a video up....everyones an expert professional drag racer critic on youtube. Give dude a break. Most people talking SHYT on here WISH they had the money to do what he did to his car!!! HATERS......but then again you guys are just doing your job...."HATING" which motiviates people like him anyway because if you weren't HATING then he didn't do his job right......CONGRATULATIONS MAN!!! SWEEET RIDE!!!

[Tupples1]

sweet video man good way to hawk down the shitty vette.lol

[mikeandtricia350Z]

what did you run

[350fury]

why'd you shift, with the tires spinning and rev limiter hitting its end? just let off the gas a second to let the tires catch up, n then hit the gas again

[Ghostixe]

@350fury With a blower especially, he would have lost more time by letting off and getting right back in it. Even rolling into the gears, the blower would still be pushing the boost at the same speed, he would light them up at high rpms. The revs control the blower speed, so with him sandbagging himself by shifting early, that's really all he could have done. Lightweight and traction. It was definitely a traction issue, plain and simple. I thought he did an awesome job for what he had.

[TheBassIsTakingOver]

juss dont power shift

[djmouser15Y]

0:53

PERTTY sure it's in neutral...

[mobydick9629]

Bro!, you have traction at 2nd and fucking boged it at 4 th hahahahahah, performance tires on that baby and itll run smooth as

[rholt370]

Good choice with the super.....but you could learn a thing or two about driving the 350.

[ciller96]

can i buy your car bro

[CASSINOx]

you deffinately would have had him! you were peeling till third and you were still ahead

[rigglesnz]

lol, that's about as bad as the first time I took my 350Z to the track. Got 17s in my first run then high 12s once I new what I was doing.

[cthrukira]

nice vid.. looking to purchase a z soon.

[Redblood797]

What nav system is that ?

[300atsheridan]

You peeled every gear practically hahahahahaha sick car man

[slickkapone]

I like the Camaro myself!!

[ralb13]

just out of curiosity, since I can;t find the answer to my question on google, what is the difference between racing tires and street tire.

did the car have trouble and almost spun out in the beginning of the video because the car has street tires? Please help...LOL

[JacobDanielMagner]

350z = sick as Fuck.

[13whitekid]

Better tires like you said and you would have kicked ass! Nice car man

[Jzeman11]

nice job keeping it semi straight man. I bet you love the vortech kit, i'm looking at picking one up soon. How much maintenence does the kit need? And what did you put down?

I drive an 04 touring coupe 6MT

[carsnwomen91]

fuck man, put both hands on the steering between gears

[west160]

ive always wondered how to shift through the gears like the wy you did on the first roll can you tell me how to???

[landono51]

the secret is to shift when you hit the rev limiter or it wont go any faster

[stairmaster3001]

u need solid motor mounts!

[Birdhouse789]

should have burned out first

[skaterfreak7734]

LOL THAT SHIT SOUNDED SO FUCKING BAD

[XxXxXxXxXx21XxXxXxX]

Honestly... I am so fucking jealous of your car. So sexy v.v

[MrOGKil]

digga ich hab mien auto lappen seit knapp einer woche und kann besser mit gas und kupplung spielen als du also echt mal du bist peinlich

[348rider]

ive been wanting to supercharge my z for awhile, what are you running for psi? and what do u have for RWHP?

[yllw93ctkhb]

@348rider dude dont get the roots style. the reason is roots/screw styel superhcarger dose not flow enough air like a syntrifigual or turbo. you will have no top end at all. and the sound gets so god dam anoying after a month. supercharger, it lacks in hp and dont produce what they clame. also all their bearings go bad after 4 or 5 thousend miles. also their customer service sucks

[MrKrish587]

learn how to drive bro!

[dmax3108]

are you running the AC or the Fan? cuz i see a yellow light on the climate control? i might be wrong but im just wondering..

[MANIAC187KILLA]

i meant bro....lol

[MANIAC187KILLA]

you need to learn how to drive pro its called feathering the pedal...sounds good tho...

[Rapidrhino90]

its because you didnt heat those STREET tires up. LOL what good does doing aburnout on a street tire do? let me answer that for you, nothing

[jakeluvsmel]

if this dummy can afford the tiresand the charger he should know how to heat the tires properly c'mjon now.....

[robmur123]

1 thump 2 thump 3 swerve 4 crash

[atm121990aaron]

If you had a good start you would have smashed that corvette. Nice car sounds nice

[Azlateen]

You probably would have caught the other guy if you would have shifted. But dude, damn. I couldn't believe you were starting to catch the other guy

[DaCoconutKid]

thats so BOSS

[droflow1993]

I wish my g37s had that much power

[MrJerryachaibar]

wow i wish you would have blown the tranny

[NewyorkFlykidd]

You staying on the clutch so long in the beginning and your horrible shifting hurt my stomach. But on the bright side it sounds nice:D

[jamesjdm]

you can blame the tires all you want but they have NOTHING to do with that god awful shifting you were doing there. LEARN to shift, stop blaming the damn tires, and stop defending yourself from the comments here telling you what you are doing wrong...unless you want to remain a tool that can't drive for shit.

[thebinan]

why the fuck cant you shift? its not that hard... honestly

[crazyhotdog12]

he was catching the vette dont drag on him that much

[AngelOfNight9]

@crazyhotdog12 The point where his Z starts to catch up is the point the corvette hits the end and slows down, you can tell because the Z slows down at the same point the corvette did (the point where is looks like he's catching up)

[IXGQ4LifeXI]

High HP and street tires do take a lil getting use to..

[hemiowner105]

time for some dr"s,,lol

[julierose90]

4 mins of my life wasted.

[Reaction92]

wow, your car looks fucking fast. Must be the torque though..

because my RX7 is pretty quick, just has barely any torque lol

[chemao1978]

After watching the video, I really don't think it was a problem of having street tires....

[saulanibal1]

just needed a better driver haha

[CollapseSakanade]

This video inspires me to take the next step with my 350z

[yllw93ctkhb]

really? cool man thanks, ive been working on that thing for a long time. shes a work in progress tho lol. im gona do a wire tuck soon and clean up the car. its been sitting for 2 years now. its a project im trying to finnish for a friend. ill up load some vids of my soon to be supercharged z and hopfuly gets some props on her. if you ever in germany hit me up ill show you the street sean here.

[yllw93ctkhb]

why the fuck do you post this video to just make us Z owners look bad.

[bcbc1975]

@yllw93ctkhb = Tool. Read the description. BTW I saw your page, your Honda with the ebay turbo kit is badass!

[canthony1019]

@bcbc1975 haha OWNAGE! the car that won't even stay running.

[METALLICA6547]

@bcbc1975 that car sounds like it has some balls, badass dude!
